Food Packaging Label Inspection
Challenge
In a frozen food packaging operation, frozen food in plastic tubs and wrapping need to be inserted into individual boxes. Occasionally, an incorrect box finds its way into a stack of boxes, or a box is upside-down.
Manufacturers need a cost-effective way to verify that all the boxes are correct based on the food being packaged on the line.
Solution
To verify each box is correct, an iVu Series sensor is configured for a Match inspection with 360 degree rotation enabled.
An image of the correct box is captured and when the inspection is running, if the sensor detects an incorrect box, the sensor sends a fail output to the line, and the product is rejected.
